Wisconsin-Lake Michigan Restoration Priorities Workshops: Proceedings

摘要

This proceedings document presents the outcome of a pair of half-day workshops held August 17-18, 2004, in Green Bay and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. These workshops were a cooperative effort of the Great Lakes Commission, Council of Great Lakes Governors, University of Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute and Wisconsin Coastal Management Program. The meeting brought together a range of participants from various Great Lakes constituencies to provide feedback on the governors priorities for restoration of the Great Lakes ecosystem and on the coordinative processes needed to achieve these priorities. These meetings were part of a series of similar events conducted throughout the Great Lakes region. The Council of Great Lakes Governors has identified nine priorities for restoring and protecting the Great Lakes. The workshop series, supported by the National Sea Grant College Program, provides an opportunity for Great Lakes constituents to review these priorities and inform their further development and implementation. Workshop outcomes are being shared with the regions governors, premiers, other public officials, meeting participants and the larger Great Lakes community. A primary objective is to inform and advance the restoration efforts of the regions leadership.
